Redirect loop

Locked

I cant seem to access the techrepublic.com main site. I get the:

“Redirect Loop Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.”

Thw site works perfectly when i access it at home via ethernet cable. However when i use the wireless network at work i get the following error.
Im using a lenovo w500 laptop.

wireless network is using proxy.

any ideas?

Do you get the same problem if you use Internet Explorer?

same thing using IE

In reply to try another web browser

yes i get the samt thing while using IE i get

“Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address. ”

the funny thing the site worked yesterday but not today:

I am located on a boat connection via satellite.

Your DNS could be buggered up

In reply to same thing using IE

Try using a different DNS, there are free DNS servers located out there, try one of them (sorry I cannot name one, perhaps someone else can, I usually raise hell with my ISP when their DNS is wrong or broken and get a free month)

If not DNS issue, I would suspect proxy server

In reply to Your DNS could be buggered up

as far as dns servers, try OpenDNS. If that doesnt work, then that leaves proxy server.
